Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the needs of stakeholders in developing a mobile application (MP) to be used by returning residents and providers of healthcare and medical/social services. The needs assessment of the residents revealed that among the elderly, ownership of smartphones and tablets was low and they were less likely to use the applications themselves.
